ahhh thank you Rick you are a lifesaver - i have searched and could not find this info anywhere just lots of confusing ones - i have uninstalled 2017 of AE and Media Encoder as they were both unstable - shame on you Adobe where has your support systems gone? - wonder if i can bill Adobe for my unbillable hours lost to my clients?

This is not what I have in my creative cloud... mine is an "Update" on the button... it's not an Install button like shown above... there's no dropdown to pick a version. if I click 'update' it just starts updating!

help!

this is INCREDIBLY frustrating. NICE JOB ADOBE. I cannot believe this absolute GARBAGE release!!!! I'm in the middle of major project for client and I can't get anywhere. crashes, and all sorts of stuff. this is crazy.

You are not going down far enough. You go to the filter section and pick older versions there and THEN go down and you get install buttons.

Now, if you have a button that says "update" for After Effects, there's probably an update that might fix the bugs you're experiencing.
